Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been feeling unwell when I go off work. I suspect something's wrong with my body. Yesterday, I couldn't resist taking a day off to see a doctor. As it turns out, I have goiter. How effective is the treatment for goiter?Doctor's answer:
Reappearance of goiter requires simultaneous thyroid function tests to confirm whether there is hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Based on the examination results, medication or surgical treatment can be decided. However, if there is no thyroid function changes and it is simply a thyroid nodule swelling, without obvious clinical symptoms, treatment can be postponed initially. However, it is necessary to pay attention to follow-up examinations at irregular intervals to monitor the symptoms.
